Welcome to Great Expectations where your dreams of staying at a log cabin in the mountains will become reality! This secluded 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin is all that you can hope for. Located in the beautiful and exclusive golf community of Laurel Valley, Great Expectations is a very comfy home away from home.

Jennifer Tipton - 9/19/2023
The cabin was SO cute and comfy. We never did see any bears at the cabin. We were able to grill steaks and had the keurig for morning coffee. Everything else during our stay was awesome! Enjoyed the hot tub! We both have back issues & very picky with our mattresses, but found the bed to be pretty comfortable. Cabin was very clean. We never saw spiders, scorpions or anything - thank goodness! -

karen hollenberger - 7/7/2023
We loved the cabin! It was private and quite. The cabin was clean and neat and easy to find. We saw a momma bear and her 2 cubs right in front of the cabin where we park the car. Loved every minute of our stay. -
Kim - 6/25/2023
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for, we were heading to Kingsport to see my aunt in an assisted living facility and take every opportunity to stay in the Smokies. This cabin checked all the boxes from location to ease of access, beautifully decorated and CLEAN. I plan to save info and hope it remains as a rental for a future extended visit. -
JON COOPER - 6/11/2023

Katie Newton - 4/17/2023
We loved our time in the cabin. Felt very safe and secure in the community. The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy the space. Perfect trip for our family of 4...including a 5 year old and 3 year old. We were only sad we didn't see any bears. -
Brandy McKee - 3/27/2023

Lisa Leesman - 12/7/2022
The cabin was clean and well appointed with everything we needed in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable. The entire booking, check in and check out process was smooth and easy. When I discovered there was no hair dryer in the cabin, the response was quick and one was dropped off the next day! We love staying in Laurel Valley for it’s easy access to hiking trails. We would definitely stay in this cabin again! -

Sabine Dibbern - 9/25/2022
The cabin was absolutely amazing, we truly enjoyed our stay. We hiked daily and it was so nice to come back at the end of the day to the cabin with all the comforts of home. The place was decorated for the season, there were little touches around the place that were just adorable. I highly recommend staying here when visiting the area. -
Brian Ernste - 9/13/2022
From booking to completing our stay, this cabin was nothing short of perfect. I had plenty of communication from the host through-out the booking process and leading up to our stay. The direction and acess information was very clear and eliminated any issues arriving. The cabin itself is exactly as the listing states. It is PERFECT. I was aprehensive going into it as it is part of a country club, but you would have no idea if you stayed without knowing there was a golf course about 1/2 mile away. The location of the cabin is very private and secluded. The kitchen was well stocked with everyday necessities (cooking utensils, cooking basics - salt, pepper, oil-, along with updated appliances. The view was spectacular and the hot tub got used every night! We only had two people in our party but the cabin could have easily slept 2 couples comfortably, and additional on couches. There was good wifi through the property along with smart TVs to allow us to connect streaming services for evening down time. The location in regards to Great Smoky Mountain National Park is perfect. Townsend is a beautiful, quaint, town and doesn't have the flashy tourism that some of the other area towns have. It's about a 10 minute drive to the entrance to the park with easy access to Cades Cove. We'll definitely be back! -
Oscar Perez - 9/8/2022
A wonderful cabin. So peaceful. Quiet. We a long car (Jeep Grand Cherokee L) and a 4 bike rack, it was a tough first trip up as I was not prepared. Had to back in the rest of the times in and out, but not a big issue. I’ll trade the seclusion we got for the driveway any day. What a quaint and beautiful place. We loved it. Clean. Comfortable. -
Callie Buschman - 9/5/2022
This cabin was so clean and so perfect in every way! I don’t like staying places because I have had bad experiences in the past with bugs and dirty places but my mind was quickly put to ease with the cleanliness and quality of the cabin. Check in and out was very easy and all the emails with instructions and reminders were perfect! No complaints other than the driveway but it can’t be controlled and it wasn’t too bad because we knew to expect it based off of previous reviews and the description of the cabin. -
JESSICA TYE - 8/7/2022
We really enjoyed our stay at Great Expectations cabin. Very clean, private, and great location to the SMNP. The cabin itself had very comfortable bed and well-stocked kitchen. The hot tub and charcoal grill were an added bonus! The check-in and check-out process was smooth and detailed instructions were helpful. We would gladly return to Great Expectations. -
Liz Bierbaum - 7/17/2022
Loved our stay. Great cabin. Secluded, but close to everything we needed. Nice renovations. Peaceful porch, deck, and hot tub! Country club pool and bar a bonus. Super easy check in/out. Loved how quickly we could get to hiking trails. Enjoyed playing board games with the family. -

This was a beautiful cabin in the canopy of the trees. The cabin has been renovated and is very nice. In addition to the essentials, they have baskets of games and a hot tub nestled in the trees. We had a wonderful stay! -
